Avranches, La Basse Normandie, Address available on request

A 16th-century manor house set in 6 hectares of grounds in the south of the Cotentin peninsula. At the junction of a departmental road, a 900 m-long track leads to the driveway up to the manor house, which faces south. The first thing you see are two buildings. On one side there is an old bakery, and on the other, a larger building used as a warehouse for agricultural equipment. Further on you come to a chapel, dated 1712 according to an inscription on the pediment of its arched door. The driveway spans the moat surrounding the manor house, which is bordered at the back by a pond. The main facade is flanked at either end by two towers with narrow openings typical of 16th century fortified houses. The roof is made of slate. A second building from the same period is opposite it. Finally, a last building borders the pond: an old barn with a hayloft.
